Take a tour around the South and East Cork Bird Trail, which stretches from Rocky Bay in South Cork, to Foxhole in East Cork.

The trail can be enjoyed by everyone, young and old alike; from complete beginners to bird watching enthusiasts, as it takes you on a journey through a region of national and international importance for birds.

Golden Rock

Habitat & SpeciesIn recent years, a flock of Brent Geese has begun to use this area, with their numbers steadily increasing. They travel from Arctic Canada to spend the winter months in Ireland.

HistoryDramatically situated on headlands at opposite sides of the entrance to Cork Harbour, stands Fort Camden and Fort Carlisle; you can access Fort Camden on this side of the water by going through the village of Crosshaven.

Please see opposite an image of a Cormorant, which may be seen here at Golden Rock.
